THE SWALLOWS, BS22 8LR House Prices & Local Information

BS22 8LR is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on The Swallows, 0.7km from Weston Village in Weston-super-Mare. Administratively it sits within Weston-super-Mare Winterstoke ward and the Weston-Super-Mare constituency.

For renters and young professionals, BS22 8LR offers a classic working-class terrace area — densely packed streets, low ethnic diversity. The daytime character shifts — mainly white older workforce, self-employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing, with some construction. The 36 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 40% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants. Employment levels are high (48% in full-time work) — a well-connected, economically active community.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 38 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Average house prices are around £270k, down 3.1% year-on-year. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
